The Long Beach State athletics calendar is packed with action today.
Dirtbags vs. No. 17 Wake Forrest, 3 p.m.
LBSU has a chance to take the series at Bohl Diamond at Blair Field (weather permitting) after a 6-2 win on Friday night. Sophomore Alfredo Ruiz continued his hot start on the mound with seven scoreless innings. Jacob Hughey and Leonard Jones both had two hits and two RBIs in the win.
Freshman righty Luis Ramirez is scheduled to take the ball for LBSU today. Regular Friday night starter Adam Seminaris won’t pitch this weekend due to a violation of team rules.
Men’s Basketball vs. Hawaii, 4 p.m.
The Beach is back at Walter Pyramid for a clash with the Rainbow Warriors. Last week, LBSU used a phenomenal defensive effort to had Hawaii its first Big West loss at home. This quick rematch is key in the conference standings. LBSU (9-18, 4-7) is only two games back of second place in the loss column, and Hawaii (15-10, 6-5) is right above them.
